Posterior-to-anterior order in selective anesthesia

A source says selective anesthesia for referred pain should be performed from posterior to anterior. Is that correct? If so, why start posteriorly?

Translated version of the Turkish original

That is incorrect, because anesthetizing the posterior region first may also anesthetize an anterior tooth.
